Something about my skin first: I've suffered from acne which was mostly cured by Roaccuttan which I had to eat for a year. I also burn really easily since I have really white skin and freckles. On winter the freckles are hard to be seen but when the first rays of sun shine on spring my face is mostly covered in freckles.
So I shall start then.
SKINCARE
Dermosil Cleansing Mousse E
Fantastic pink liquid that turns into satin-like white foam when you press it out of the can. It cleanses thoroughly yet still doesn't dry skin or leave it greasy. I can get even the thickest eyeliner or few days old mascara washed off with this.
Also available in 50ml bottle so can take it easily to airplane or other trips.
Dermosil Primo Facial Peeling Cream
The grains aren't too small or hard so can use this easily every other day or sometimes daily if needed. The smell isn't the best but it's not too disturbing either, sort of cucumber-like even tho it should come from mint and melons.
Dermosil Arctic Berries Concepts Rasberry Mask
This is a normal clay mask that you wash off after 10-15mins. It's not as drying as most clay masks and I don't like masks that you peel off so this far this is the nicest mask I've found with this cheap price (6,20€).
Avon Anew Retroactive+ Day and Night Lotions
I really like the night lotion since even tho it has really greasy feeling to it, it still isn't too thick on skin. Day lotion is fantastic for winter since it's thicker than most day lotions and still doesn't leave skin too shiny.
Avon Anew Retroactive+ Repair Eye Serum
Looks quite shiney and pearly when you get the serum to your finger but absorbs quickly when tapped on skin.
The reason I didn't list any toner since I tend to change the brand a lot. I've used Avon Solution Pure Pore-Fection but I haven't really kept much conctact with the only friend of mine who is Avon representative. So now I need to quickly find replacements for some of the Avon (and Oriflame for that matter) products I still use. Also Avon has stopped making Retroactive+ series so anyway I couldn't get them anymore.
MAKE UP
Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer Potion
I simply love this stuff! It's glides to your lids easily and stays there. No greasing, no running eye shadows. My eyelids get greasy easily but haven't had any problems with that after I started using this.
If I need to recommend only one thing that everyone should try then this is it!
Joe Blasco Ultrabase Cream Foundation
I don't use this daily since it's too thick to use especially on summers. But it's a really good concealer as well and I mainly use it to my chin to hide all the possible spots. I've had it for a year and it's nowhere near finishing soon. If you use it daily for whole face then it would probably last for about a year. I like to use it with moist sponge as a foundation and with dry sponge or with my fingers as a concealer.
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Ammo Shadow Box
I mostly use only these eyeshadows for everyday use. It has nice natural tones for work and then something extra if you want more colour to the make up. Sin is great colour if you want a bit sparkle but not much colour, it's almost identical to my skin tone. Polyester bride is shiny white that adds a bit of sparkle to normal make up when used under eyebrows. Smog is nice bit sparkly brown that will finish a natural look.
The whole box is kept shut with magnets so I haven't had any case when it would've opened by itself even when I carry it around in my huge bags without any other protection.
Maybelline The Colossal Volum' Express
I've used this mascara since it was launched and I haven't met any other mascara that can make my blonde and quite straight lashes looking that good with no curling or other help. And believe me I've tried :D
Gosh Eye Liner Pen
I like the fact that it's pen-like and not soft long brush with only few straws like most. Easier to get nicer and thicker lines. And it stays on lids nicely.
Urban Decay Baked Bronzer: Gilded
I like to have natural looking cheeks for everyday life. One of the most horrible things I usually see on people is too much blush. And usually wrong blush colour for their skin tone. I just like a bit of something there and Urban Decay's Baked Bronzer: Gilded leaves a nice touch with a bit of sparkle. Looks good when used in summer for whole face or just as a blush for rest of the year.
Labello Classic Lip Balm
I'm not really into lipsticks or lip glosses. Somehow always either stain my teeth with them or get my hair stuck on my lips. But I'm addicted to lip balms and Labello Classic is the only lip balm I have been sticking to for years. Every now and then I try something different but either they taste bad (I know, I should eat them) or are absorbed too fast so I need to apply them really often. At work would look stupid to customers/co-workers to see me adding lip balm every 15mins.
